About This Scholarship

The South Carolina Teaching Fellows is a scholarship program offered by the State of South Carolina to attract talented and highly motivated students into teaching careers. The program is designed to address the shortage of qualified teachers in the state’s public schools.

The program provides up to $24,000 in scholarship funding to selected students who commit to teaching in a South Carolina public school after graduation.
